First the domestic abuse charge filed against A.J. Nicholson last week landed him in the unemployment line. Now it has landed the former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, released by the team on Monday afternoon, in jail.

Officials at the Leon County, Fla., jail confirmed Saturday afternoon that Nicholson is being held there for allegedly violating the terms of his probation. The Cincinnati Enquirer first reported Saturday that Nicholson had been jailed in Florida.

Things keep getting worse for Nicholson. A promising career going down in flames.
